Hi Guys
You may remember a previous post where I talked about the firewall settings on Vista preventing the install of the outlook Client.
Subsequently it has turned out that this was not the only issue on said users laptop. Having the user away for the past month it has been difficult to diagnose the issues correctly, but having uninstalled the client again, as well as all .Net versions, things became clearer.
I was now getting an error message that pointed towards a pre-release of .net 3.0 being on the machine, however no matter where i searched in add/remove programs I could not remove this software.
However after some searching, it turns out that MS have released an Uninstall tool that removes all versions of pre-release .net 3.0.
Thankfully this has now removed the issue that we were having, and now barring any more issues, our client should now be able to use CRM!

CRM Client 4.0, Vista Business & Hosted CRM
Hi Guys
I have had a very trying day involving the CRM client, Vista Business and a number of firewall applications!
I have seen that a lot of people out there have had some issues with this setup, and there a number of registry hacks etc out there that people have tried.
However upon installing a fresh copy of Vista and Office on a test machine and enabling full blocking and tracking in Mcaffe firewall I found that there are three components of the CRM Client install that require external access, they are:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\ConfigWizard\Microsoft.Crm.Client.Config.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\ConfigWizard\Microsoft.Crm.Client.AutoUpdate.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Client\res\web\bin\ Microsoft.Crm.Application.Hoster.exe
I found once I had gone back through my clients personal firewall settings (which there were several) and enabled these three programs full access to the net, the install completed and they were able to use CRM, which meant that I could go home, Happy Days!
